Miami Man In Van Guns Down AK-47 Wielding Robber Because He Didn’t Want ‘To Go Out Like A Punk’
By Peter D’Oench
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – A 60-Year-old Miami man said he was forced to shoot and kill a gunman who had broken in to his van early Monday morning in an attempt to rob him of his jewelry.
“The guy I killed last night, he put an AK-47 to my damn face,” said Donovan Stewart.
Stewart told CBS4’S Peter D’Oench that he had to act quickly because he was worried about the safety of his 11-year-old son and girlfriend who were in the van with him.
“I am from Kingstontown in Jamaica,” he said, “and I am not going to go out like a punk. So I emptied my Glock in his chest. This man tried to get in my van while I was sleeping and he was surprised to see what I did.”
He demonstrated what he did for CBS4.
“Well, he opened the door like this and pointed his AK-47 and I reached around like this and got my gun. That is how I did this to him,” he said.
“So I thought you are you going to kill me so now I have to act quickly because I am trained,” he said. “You know I have a security license, I have a G license and I have a state firearms license and a concealed weapons permit and I have a gun and I am a member of the NRA.”

Oakland Business Owner Exchanges Gunfire With Armed Robbers; Stray Bullet Hits Resident Inside Home
By Kiet Do
OAKLAND (KPIX 5) — A business owner who had been robbed at gunpoint Monday morning in Oakland chased the robbers with his own gun and exchanged gunfire with them, with a stray bullet piercing a home and hitting a resident inside, according to authorities.
The incident happened at a coin exchange business on the 3300 block of Grand Ave. just before 10 a.m., police said.
Business owne Charlie Mammoser said he wasn’t thinking when he buzzed in two men wearing masks into his coin shop. “Well, they came in, they had their guns pulled out, they walked in and they were ready to go,” said Mammoser. “And they ordered me to get down on the floor, face down.”
Mammoser said his safe was open and the crooks filled a bag with about 100 pounds of rare silver bouillon coins. They then ran out the store and up the hill.
And something inside Mammoser snapped.

Two down and out, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes, and three in the wind. Several bad decisions on this shoot, starting with the coin monger letting masked men into his shop.

That ain’t no 1911.

Good catch, GDC.
The wartime guns are quite rough. Conversely, the ones I have fired worked quite well.
“That ain’t no 1911.” There can be only one! Just because it is inspired by the designs of the Saintly John Moses Browning (Howitzer be his name) doesn’t mean it is in the book, chapter, verse that we all know and love.
Single .45 round to the chest v “emptied my Glock in his chest.” Need we say more?
Coin store operator? How teh stoopid can you be? Let us count the ways.
Chitcongo? They still breeding hood rats faster than they’re killing one another off.
Yup, and for the benefit of the non-gunnutz here and those to lazy to read the link, this pistol was commonly known as the Radom 9mm. It was standard issue to some units in the German Army in WWII after it captured the factory in Poland where they were made. A friend of my father brought back one from his service in a Signal unit in WWII. It had all the German waffenamt stamps on it, and was somewhat roughly finished.
And this gun is a copy of beloved John Browning’s design of the Browning Hi-power pistol still made today.
Chicago is never going to give up its guns.
Here’s a great feel good story.

Bad shoot in Oakland. bad move chasing the running perps after the fact. Possible charges against the store owner, And a NO NO in Florida.
I agree with Jeff LPH 3.
In Florida you cannot shoot at a fleeing criminal.
You also cannot shoot unless you’re life is in imminent danger.
That store owner will likely be charged with anything from unlawful discharge to attempted murder.
Under the transferability rule, if he attempted to kill a fleeing criminal (which is a forbidden, criminal act) and instead wounded or killed a bystander, he still had intent to kill.
